Capel-le-Ferne Primary School

It was great to have the chance to visit Capel-le-Ferne Primary to see all the great work they are doing to give their pupils a rounded education in such a wonderful setting.

I sat down with David Metcalf, the head teacher, and his deputy to discuss the work the school is doing to teach pupils about our nation's values and culture. I also went on a tour of the school, meeting children from every age group in their classes.

I was deeply impressed by the school's plans for an outdoor theatre area as part of their wider plans to expand their outdoor education facilities. The school has done great work raising money for this project so far.

It is important for our children to learn about their local environment and gain essential skills outside of the classroom.
